What I learned
The metaverse is an immersive digital environment of independent, yet interconnected networks that will use emerging protocols for communications.
It enables persistent, decentralized, collaborative, interoperable digital content that intersects with the physical world’s real-time, spatially indexed and organized content.
Goals of metaverse:
Transport – taking you to another time or place(can include gaming environments or VR experience, transform – about changing the world around you and is rooted in spatial computing, and transact- where blockchains and NFT come in.
Example of NFT: StockX minted Nike NFTs
Metaverse will give employers and employees new options on how to get work done.
- Ex: Immersive training Ex: Walmart piloted VR to help customer service skills of employees.
This activity relates to my coursework in that I learn certain software skills as an MIS major and I am working online most of the time. I also used to meet for class on Zoom virtually. Metaverse is a digital environment which means everything is virtual. This activity relates to my career goals in that I watched this webinar to attain PRO points which are required for me as an MIS major.
